Title: Device for connecting two jumper wires to a knife-edge terminal
Inventor: SCHOLTHOLT HANS
IPC: H01R4/24

Granted: 1991-07-18
Abstract: The insulation-penetrating terminal (3) is inserted in a plastic body (1) and has three mutually parallel terminal tabs (6) between which there are constructed two terminal slots (4) for the two connecting wires (5). The centre terminal tab is bent out of the plane of the two outer terminal tabs and is held in a corresponding depression in a positively locking manner, without play with respect to lateral deflection. In consequence, a constant terminal force is achieved irrespective of whether connecting wires (5) are fitted to one or both terminal slots (4). <IMAGE>

Title: MinK-related genes, formation of potassium channels and association with cardiac arrhythmia
Inventor: ABBOTT GEOFFREY W
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2000-04-14
Granted: 2004-12-09
Abstract: The present invention is directed to genes and gene products related to Min-K which form ion channels and to a process for diagnosis of ion channel disorders, including long QT syndrome (LQT). For example, KCNE2 forms IKr potassium channels and is associated with LQT. LQT is diagnosed in accordance with the present invention by analyzing the DNA sequence of KCNE2 of an individual to be tested and comparing the respective DNA sequence to the known DNA sequence of a normal KCNE2 gene. Alternatively, these MinK-related genes of an individual to be tested can be screened for mutations which cause ion channel disorders, including LQT. Prediction of ion channel disorders, including LQT, will enable practitioners to prevent the disorders using existing medical therapy. This invention is further directed to the discovery that the HERG and KCNE2 (also known as MiRP1) proteins coassemble to form a cardiac IKr potassium channel.

Title: Bias current control for providing accurate potentiometric measurements
Inventor: MCKEE CHARLES B JR
IPC: G01N27/416
Filed: 1990-05-14
Granted: 1992-09-17
Abstract: Apparatus and method are provided to ensure accuracy of a measurement signal obtained using a potentiometric sensor (10) placed in a solution (12). The apparatus includes an interface amplifier (26) that generates a relatively large turn-on bias current whenever the amplifier is initially powered on. To avoid polarization of the potentiometric sensor (10) by the turn-on bias current, a switch device (40) is used to direct the turn-on bias current along a path away from the potentiometric sensor (10). The switch device (40) is controlled using a timer circuit (42) that causes a change in position of the switch device (40) after a predetermined time delay. During the time delay, the bias current reduces to a normal value and polarization of the potentiometric sensor (10) has been avoided. An accurate measurement of a physical parameter associated with the solution can then be taken without the detrimental effect of the turn-on bias current on the potentiometric sensor. The apparatus has particular utility in obtaining water quality data, such as hydrogen potential, specific ion potential and oxygen reduction potential.

Title: Method for quantizing speech coder parameters
Inventor: GOURNAY PHILIPPE
IPC: G10L25/93
Filed: 1999-10-01
Granted: 2004-01-08
Abstract: A method for encoding speech at a low bit rate. The method assembles parameters on N consecutive frames to form a super-frame. A vector quantization of transition frequencies of a voicing during each super-frame is made. Only the most frequent configurations are transmitted without deterioration and the least frequent configurations are replaced by the configuration that is the nearest in terms of absolute error among most frequent configurations. The pitch is encoded in carrying out a scalar quantization of only one value of the pitch for each super-frame. The energy is encoded in selecting only a reduced number of values in assembling these values in sub-packets quantized by vector quantization. The spectral envelope parameters are encoded by vector quantization in selecting only a determined number of filters. The untransmitted energy values are recovered in the synthesis part by interpolation or extrapolation from transmitted values. Such a method may find particular application in vocoders.
